The Los Angeles Lakers made an enormous splash after they introduced that retired-baller-turned-podcaster-slash-talking head JJ Redick might be their new head coach. Redick upped his profile over the previous few years by showing on ESPN’s First Take to butt heads with Stephen A. Smith and utilizing his voice to defend gamers and push again towards drained narratives. JJ appeared to be well-liked.
Which may have modified a bit.
Following his F-bomb-laden introductory press convention, Redick was reminded that issues that has “allegedly” stated up to now can and might be used towards him within the courtroom of public opinion. Again in 2014, BOSSIP reported on leaked emails that supposedly confirmed JJ calling his then-pregnant girlfriend Vanessa Lopez a “soiled ni**er” and a “silly sp*c”.
One other social gathering who alleges to have suffered JJ’s racist wrath is a Black lady named Halleemah Nash, an alumnus of Howard College and Duke College, who took to Twitter accusing Redick of calling her “ni**er”.
Though he hasn’t spoken publicly concerning the allegations, TMZ spoke to a spokesperson inside Redick’s workforce and so they succinctly deny the allegation saying, “No, it by no means occurred.”
One would possibly suppose that such a denial can be a bit extra…verbose contemplating the gravity of the accusations however for now, that’s all we get. Relying on how loud this narrative turns into, JJ is likely to be pressured to handle it head-on if he doesn’t wish to go the way in which of disgraced ex-Los Angeles Clippers proprietor Donald Sterling.
